Product Information

Phosphorus has a number of important functions in the biochemistry of the body. The bulk of the body’s phosphorus is located in the bones, where it plays a key role in osteoblastic and osteoclastic activities. Enzymatically catalyzed phosphate-transfer reactions are numerous and vital in the metabolism of carbohydrate, lipid, and protein, and a proper concentration of the anion is of primary importance in assuring an orderly biochemical sequence.

In addition, phosphorus plays an important role in modifying steady-state tissue concentrations of calcium. Phosphate ions are important buffers of the intracellular fluid, and also play a primary role in the renal excretion of hydrogen ion. Oral administration of inorganic phosphate increases serum phosphate levels. Phosphate lowers urinary calcium levels in idiopathic hypercalciuria. In general, in adults, about two-thirds of ingested phosphate is absorbed from the bowel — most of which is rapidly excreted into the urine.
